Mike, it looks like you had a great time; your smile says it all. I’m thinking this would be a cool way to spend a weekend and get an atypical type rating…
To be clear: In 1967, the Warsaw Pact announced a tender for a subsonic training aircraft. (Warsaw Pact - the opposite pole of NATO whose members were: USSR, Poland, Hungary, GDR, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Czechoslovakia). The tender was attended by: USSR, Poland, Czechoslovakia and I think also GDR. The competition was won by Czechoslovakia with the L39 Albatros, which was designed, designed and constructed by engineer Vlček and his team from the Research and Test Aviation Institute in Prague - Letňany, str..Beranových 64. The L39 Albatros was the successor to the L29 Delfín, also entirely designed in Prague under led by Ing. Wolf. The aircraft was produced in the following factories: Aero in the town of Vodochody, approx. 30 km from Prague, Motorlet Praha-Jinonice and the Rudý Letov factory in Letňany, 35 Beranových Street, Prague. Part of the project was also the production of flight TL 39 and catapult NKTL 29-39 trainers. For example, 372 NKTL 29-39 trainers were produced. L39 aircraft of various versions were produced approx. 100 pieces per year and exported to all countries of the Warsaw Pact, including the USSR! (except for Poland, which did not lose the tender.) but also to other socialist countries and also to so-called friendly countries such as: Iraq, Libya ... and of course to China. The L39 was produced modernized until 2004, I think. After 1989, US companies also took part in the modernization. The production of aircraft continues in AERO Vodochody until today - L39 NG, L159... Customers are also US companies providing service to the US army during the training of military pilots . The whole project is Czech and has nothing to do with Russia, the USSR or the RF. The Czechs are understandably very proud of the production of these aircraft, considering that only 9-10 countries in the world produce jet fighters of their own design. Czechoslovak industry also participated in the development and production of Russian space technology. For this share, Czechoslovakia was rewarded by sending Vladimír Remek into space, and thanks to this, Czechoslovakia was the third country in the world to send a man into space. That's all. Greetings from a former employee of Rudý Letov n.p. later Letov a.s. I worked on the production of the NKTL 29-39 wing and trainer.
I guessed it right from the short. I said it was either going to be an l39 or an A4. That was solely based upon what little bit we could see of the cockpit and the inlets.
Hi Mike, thanks a lot for this beautiful and inspiring video. I just have one question: before starting training in an L-39, what ratings should you have and how many flight hours should you have logged ? Once again thank you and keep posting that kind of content. As a frustrated pilot, it makes me dream ! Spyros (writing from Germany) 👍
In aviation, “upset” means an unplanned deviation from the current flight state that puts the airplane into an unexpected attitude. It could be a rapid pitch down from straight and level flight due to autopilot failure, or an unplanned spin entry while maneuvering.

Mike, I’m on radio show “mental dialogue” run by a friend of mine. Thanks for your call in 👊🏼. I appreciate your input and everything you’re doing.

I enjoyed this video a lot. It was interesting, concise, and fun to watch. It covered a very important topic. I also liked his preflight points.
Please keep creating content. This is great.
Now thats the real deal, the Albatros is awesome. On my bucketlist for sure!
Great video :)
Good to view a mojogrip video once again. Haven't seen it on fb in a long time..
Very nice. I'm glad u enjoyed it & didn't get sick like last time years ago. Hav a safe & blessed week. #salute to u both!!!!!
Awesome! I enjoyed that!
That was a very nice flight. 👍
Fascinating
Thanks Mr Mojo!
Looks awesome, I just sent them an email to hopefully get a flight in.
Just awesome 🎉
The thumbnail looks great 🔥.
It looks like a movie clip and I was even looking for the camera used because it looks really clean.
he looks scared like a clown trapped in McDonald pinky house. I think Moho is for a show rather than learning smthng !! lol

Congratulations👏🏻
🎉 sooo coool🎉
Don't be too upset and don't go ballistic ! ;-)
Flying is about fun.

It has brake pressure in milliseconds, that’s original.
Does ‘upset’ mean stalls and spins and silly stuff like that?
In aviation, “upset” means an unplanned deviation from the current flight state that puts the airplane into an unexpected attitude. It could be a rapid pitch down from straight and level flight due to autopilot failure, or an unplanned spin entry while maneuvering.
How can you be upset flying a jet when nobody is shooting at you or your friends?
I guess he meant upside down.
But it's an opportunity for nice puns.
Oh got it !
He meant UPRT
( unusual position recovery training). I wouldn't use ''upset'' though.
That thumbnail made you look weird
